"We absolutely love the Axe and Compasses and have been coming here for the past ten years. It has always been a favourite of ours and when it closed for refurbishment earlier this year, we were worried it wouldn't be the same. Remarkably, we think it's even better now. The food is fantastic and the refurb is totally in keeping with the building. The only thing we have noticed, on the last few occasions, is that the service has been a little bit lacking in speed and attentiveness. Overall, we thoroughly enjoy our times at the A&C and have brought many friends along, all of whom have totally loved it too."
